Page 55 of Pregnant By the Mafia Boss

“Who? Kathy?”

“I wanted to catch her before she left, but she hates goodbyes. Never does them.”

“Well, she said goodbye to us.”

“She did? Well, aren’t you two honored?” He waves to Jimmy, who nods back. A nod that says a double cheeseburger will appear in a couple of minutes.

“Mind if I join you?” Salvatore asks.

“Look at the big brute asking permission for things,” I reply with a smile. “You’ve changed.”

“Watch your tone, or you’ll be over my knee,cara mia.”

“Promises, promises.”

Zoey nearly chokes on her pasta. “Still in the room,” she says when she’s got her coughs under control.

“What?” I say with a wink. “You should try it someday. Surprisingly fun.”

“On that note, I’m going to head back.” She climbs out of the booth. “Take care of my girl,” she adds, pointing to Salvatore. “She’s important.”

“I’m aware of that,” he replies as she heads for the door. He turns to face me. “Was I interrupting?”

“Just a catch-up. How’s things with you?”

“Been talking to Antonio. He thinks Kathy may have set this whole thing up. I was hoping to ask her if it was true.”

“Set what up?”

“Everything. Making sure we went after Christian. Knowing we’d kill him. Planning from the start to take over the high council. What do you think?”

“I doubt she’s that manipulative.”

“Lot of history to that woman, most of it bad. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re married because she wanted it to happen.”

I reach out and take his hand. “We’re married because you dragged me down the aisle like a caveman.”

He chuckles. “I don’t remember you protesting too much.”

“Well, I’m pregnant, resigned to my miserable fate of being hitched to you, shackled for life.”

“Divorce is an option if you talk like that.”

“I prefer the idea of a spanking for being such a bad girl.”

“Then you better finish your food, and we’ll see what the rest of the day brings.”

“Hopefully, it brings you. Hard. With your cock.”

He laughs. “Yeah, I get it.”

“Oh good. It’s just I know you Valentinos are a bit slow off the mark.”

“Right.” He grabs my wrist and pulls me toward the door. “That’s it. You’re in for it now.”

“Oh, no. How awful.” I can’t stop grinning as we climb into his car and head back toward the house.

My ass tingles with anticipation. I’m going to get a hell of a spanking when we get back.
